Summary

www.kelloggsfc.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/Footballforkids Once upon a (very chilly) time, a bunch of cricketers met under a stained glass window... and accidentally started Birmingham City Football Club! Yep, this episode is packed with legendary stories - from their strange beginnings on a scrappy bit of land, to rivalries with Aston Villa, snowstorms on Boxing Day, and even a 100-year curse (seriously!). Fast forward 150 years, and now NFL legend Tom Brady owns part of the club! How did that happen?! And how did they go from League One heartbreak to smashing records and storming back into the Championship? This one’s got drama, goals, dodgy paperwork, and a team that never gives up. Come with me as we kick off the epic tale of Birmingham City F.C... a club with big dreams, loud fans, and a past full of twists. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
